Hadron Structure in the Non – Perturbative Regime of QCD : Isospin Symmetry and its Violation ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
I discuss recent progress made in calculating electromagnetic corrections in the framework of the effective field theory of QCD. In the case of elastic pion–pion scattering, strong interaction predictions have been worked out to two loop accuracy. I present first results for the electromagnetic corrections in the case of neutral pions. Here, the only sizeable effect comes from the charged to neutral pion mass difference. In the presence of nucleons, isospin violation can be measured in threshold pion photoproduction. I review the present status of the theoretical predictions and the experimental data. I argue that a deeper understanding of isospin violation based on a more precise study of such reactions can be achieved.

High-statistics deep-inelastic scattering at the EIC can elucidate several open questions about the structure of nucleons and nuclei that cannot be answered solely by measurements at the Large Hadron Collider. These questions include avor composition of PDFs; nuclear correction factors; e ect of isospin violation on the PDFs; and behavior of the longitudinal structure function FL at the boundar...

The kaon bag parameter BK , which is required for constraining the CP violation parameter in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix from experiment, has been successfully calculated with the Kogut-Susskind(KS) quark action, taking advantage of its UA(1) chiral symmetry[1]. A recent systematic calculation of BK with high statistics[2], however, reveals that the systematic uncertainties in the pert...

QCD stands as a main building block of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. For many years the relativistic quantum field theory of reference was QED, but at present QCD offers a more complex and intriguing theoretical laboratory. Indeed, due to asymptotic freedom, QCD can be considered as a better defined theory than QED. The statement that QCD is an unbroken renormalizable gauge theor...

We have investigated QED corrections to chiral symmetry breaking in Numbu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with two flavors of quarks. In the model the isospin symmetry is broken by the difference of the current quark mass and the electromagnetic charge between up and down quarks. In the leading order of the 1/N expansion we calculate the effective potential of the model with one-loop QED corrections a...
متن کاملIsospin symmetry breaking
We discuss the separation of isospin-symmetric and isospin-breaking contributions in the hadronic observables within the framework of QCD plus QED. Further, we briefly review some recent work on the low-energy hadron phenomenology, in which the isospin-breaking effect plays a prominent role.
